today is world AIDS day

gettin-bi-bi-bi

a lot of HIV-positive people still face stigmatisation due to prejudices and misinformation. so here is a quick reminder that:

  • HIV cannot be transmitted through touch
  • HIV cannot be transmitted via saliva, tears or sweat
  • HIV cannot pass unbroken skin or gloves, meaning you can help an injured HIV-positive person without fearing infection
  • HIV medication is so good these days that it can push the viral load below a detectable amount, which means that the virus CANNOT be transmitted anymore! no, not even during sex!!! (which doesn’t mean you should just have unprotected sex; other STIs and unwanted pregnancy are still a thing that you have to keep in mind!)
  • the medication can have strong side effects though, so it is important to do more research and develop even better medication
  • not every person in the world has the same access to medication. it is absolutely vital that everyone who needs it can get easy and free access to it.
  • HIV is not a death sentence anymore!!! through education and free access to condoms and medicine we can keep pushing the number of new infections with HIV down and prolong the life expectancy of people already infected.

Please share this information, not just online but also with friends and family who might not know it. And if you can, donate to your local AIDS/HIV charity or if you want to support one that’s operating internationally then Elton John AIDS Foundation is the one I’d recommend!

The shooting in Colorado will very obviously sanitized in order for America to ignore the terrifying problem it has with fascist terrorism. It was at a gay club, during a drag performance, during an event organized by a group presently being targeted by libsoftiktok for "grooming" teenagers by facilitating them exploring drag performance. After news broke of the shooting, libsoftiktok was still attacking the group on twitter. The perpetrator, of course, was a 22 year old man known to law enforcement, and was previously in deep shit for calling in bomb threats. The same story we always hear. Same one we've heard for years.

This is a part of a greater rising tide. Young men are being radicalized into acts of stochastic terror with increasing frequency. Not only does law enforcement have no interest in protecting our communities, they are often in the same circles as these terrorists, and agree with their actions. Other mass shootings have already demonstrated that police will not even protect their own communities. Public officials refuse this is a systemic issue being aggravated by sitting politicians who peddle conspiracy and hatred. Social media sites have zero concern for the charlatans creating the echo chambers and feedback loops which drive these alienated young men into the deranged mindset to inflict this kind of pain.

It isn't hopeless, of course. There are courses of action we can take, even if we can't directly change the system above us. Now is the time to discuss this trend as loudly and openly as we can in order to get to the core of the issue. Don't shut up about this kind of thing. We should probably be organizing large, visible actions. Act up, as it were. In the mean time, we also need to keep ourselves safe, as we find ourselves an outlaw class. Talk to one another. Protect eachother. Be sure to be active in your local communities, and establish ties between communities. We need to find those meaningful alliances again. Learn to defend yourself and others in any way you can, and encourage those around you to do the same. Yet, there is no need to panic. Only need to prepare and strengthen ourselves for what may possibly happen around us. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
